How to pay dues

You can pay dues online using a credit card, or at any post office in Japan using the furikae yoshi (pay form).

Just fill out the form with your name, address and telephone number in “romaji” (Roman alphabet letters; please don’t write in kanji) and present it to the postal clerk with the proper amount. A small fee will be added by the post office. 

You can also make a bank transfer or send your dues via insured mail for cash (genkin kakitome) by contacting the Treasurer for more information at afwjtreasurer(at)afwj.org

Once the transaction is confirmed by the AFWJ Treasurer, the representative of your local district will be informed and will add your name to the local newsletter list.
